Two residents of Bordentown City died Sunday after a fire broke out in their apartment, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.

The victims were identified as Katherine Jernegan, age 66, and Joseph Coppola, age 63, of 10 West Street.

Burlington County Medical Examiner Dr. Ian Hood ruled that the deaths were accidental and were caused by smoke and soot inhalation.

Authorities were called to the apartment just before 3 p.m. Sunday by a relative who had come to visit the couple and found them dead, the Prosecutor's Office said.

The investigation revealed that the fire was contained to the couple’s unit and extinguished itself rather than spreading throughout the building. There is no suspicion that foul play was involved. The determination of the cause and origin of the fire is pending.

The investigation was conducted by the Bordentown City Police Department, the Bordentown Township Fire Marshal (from Fire District 1), the Burlington County Fire Marshal’s Office and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.
